Budget setting

We're now in the middle of July. I analyzed our expenses for the month: the OTHERS portion seem to be getting bigger and bigger.

Groceries 16%
Bills 21%
Eating Out 14%
Gasoline 19%
Others 30%

The others include: vitamins for dogs, key duplication, airsoft reg fee, mailings, tips during eating out, newspaper, dog chain, blank cds and many other small, unimportant stuff.

As it is with my life, I realize that the minor, even negligible, things when added together take up a huge portion of my time and energy. I guess learning to manage these small things could mean greater productivity in the long run. As Covey clearly puts it: small, private victories precedes great, public ones.
